Ilam – JinaMedia: According to local sources and videos circulating on social media, Iranian security forces raided Imam Khomeini Hospital in the city of Ilam on Sunday night in an attempt to identify and arrest injured protesters.
Witnesses report that the wounded individuals had been transferred to the hospital after sustaining injuries during street protests and confrontations with security forces. Despite the urgent need for medical care, security agents reportedly entered the hospital wards, creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation while attempting to identify protesters among the patients.
Human rights activists describe the raid as a grave violation of fundamental humanitarian principles, including the right to medical treatment and the protection of patients in healthcare facilities. Such actions are seen as part of a broader, systematic strategy by Iranian authorities to suppress ongoing protests through intimidation, surveillance, and arbitrary arrests.
Reports indicate that security pressure and violence have intensified in Ilam in recent days, raising serious concerns among human rights organizations about the safety of protesters, medical staff, and civilians seeking urgent medical care.
